Salernitana vs Sampdoria prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2022-23

Salernitana will host Sampdoria at the Arechi Stadium in Serie A on Sunday as both teams look to pick up their first win of the season.

The Garnets, who returned to the top flight for the first time in 23 years last season, barely managed to stay in the division. Their new campaign hasn't gotten off to a promising start, picking up just one point in two games.

Salernitana started off their campaign with a 1-0 home loss to AS Roma followed by a goalless draw with Udinese. That came after a 2-0 loss to Parma in the first round of the Coppa Italia just a week before the start of the Serie A season.

Sampdoria, meanwhile, began their 2022-23 campaign with a 1-0 defeat of Reggina in the Coppa Italia but couldn't keep up the momentum in the league. Marco Giampaolo's side lost their opening game 2-0 to Atalanta at home before holding Juventus to a goalless stalemate.
